Hello, my BF DS (9 wo) is sleeping through from 7 to 7. I had been giving him a dream feed around 10 or 11 at night but dropped it a couple of days ago and he still sleeps 7 to 7. Since dropping the dream feed I've had sore boobs a couple of times but sort of thought they would adjust to the new regime. BUT a friend has told me that if you don't feed at least once at night then your supply reduces and "this could be the end of BF for you!"
My response was, "Codswallop!" but now I am doubting myself. Is she right? Should I express (yuk, yuk, yukkity, yuk) last thing at night to keep my supply up? DS doesn't seem to be starving. He eats about 5 or 6 times a day and he is BIG (7 kilos) and gaining weight at a frightening rate but I just don't want to risk upsetting supply as I want to BF as long as possible. Any views? If you all respond and say, yes, you are being daft, don't worry, I will be immensely grateful.
